Today is the next-to-last Saturday at the Big A spring meet, with racing moving to Belmont on May 3. Today’s feature, the 50th running of Grade 2, $150,000 Bed O’ Roses Handicap, marks the 4-year-old debut of last year’s champion 3-year-old filly, Smuggler, who won the Mother Goose and Coaching Club American Oaks for Phipps Stable, then spiked fever at Saratoga and was put on the shelf for rest of year.

“She’s bigger and stronger than she was last year,” trainer Shug McGaughey said. “I’m really looking forward to getting her started. Seven furlongs is probably not her best distance, but it should get her ready to run longer.” Edgar Prado has mount.

* Champion sprinter Lost in the Fog makes first start of year today in $100,000 Golden Gate Fields Sprint Stakes. Now four, Lost in the Fog won first 10 starts before finishing seventh as heavy fave in last year’s Breeders’ Cup Sprint.

THIRD RACE – Seattle Lake, 5-2 under Pablo Morales breaking from rail in optional claimer that drew field of five racing for $49G purse, dueled down backside with 6-5 favorite Itsayatesthing, Rick Migliore up.
